Thank you Milton and Team for these great aircraft. :applause: :applause:

Like many here, I've been watching from the sidelines and quietly waiting for this day to arrive where we can take to the skies with these classic Grummans.

Well done to all who have had a hand in creating these fine aircraft. :applause: :applause:

I reckon that all depends on what those baloons are filled with... but I'm sure they will fly beautifully. Nice to see this project come full circle, and considering the degree of hard work and effort by all involved, these planes will be definate keepers.

Thank you, Milton and Team :ernae:

Thanks to all of you for the comments and for the support during the project, a long and winding road. :-)

It was great to work with such talented artists to help make it what it is. Their work is awesome! :applause:

Oh, they can fly...and very well! Great work by all involved! I can only imagine the range of colorful repaints that'll eventually pop up for this series.

I will mention that some folks experience overly sensitive pitch trim. If you are one of them, speak up so I can assess the severity.

The pitch trim seemed a little twitchy on mine...but it could just be my setup (Saitek X52). I dialed back the elevator trim effectiveness in the [flight_tuning] section of the aircraft.cfg to 0.40. That seemed to work well for me.

Just took the S2F-3 for a quick circle over San Diego, from North Island. Flew and sounded fantastic!!! No touchy pitch trim that I noticed. I use the new Saitek Cessna Trim Wheel, and it is great for trim control!

Thank you team! :icon29::guinness::applause::applause::medals::app lause::applause::guinness::icon29:
